Shel, I realize that you decided to cut off (or through) his hands. I mean you most probably did that on some kind of purpose. I think that it breaks the whole shot. But if you say that it was quick grab then of course my comment probably does not apply. I will be looking forward for more

I think you're assuming too much. Charley and I have talked about me as well. He seemed pretty relaxed when I grabbed that snap - remember, he was sick and that was certainly making him uncomfortable. However, sometimes it takes a while to establish a real trust, you're certainly right about

Shel, your subject has the makings of a grand portrait, which for me would have to include a full view of his hands. It will be interesting to see how your photography of him evolves. Kenneth Waller - Original Message - From: Shel Belinkoff [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: PESO - Charley

To be honest, without the back story it isn't much of a picture IMHO. I find the fact that his hands and the top of his head are cut off distracting. Get closer (or a longer lens perhaps), to focus on his face (and it's a face with character in spades :-), or step back to get more of the
